No living composer has come to be more closely associated with Christmas than John Rutter: for more than thirty years, his carols and other seasonal choral music have been an indispensable feature of Christmas celebrations worldwide. Inspired by the success of his much-loved annual Christmas concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, this major new recording, for release in November 2008, features première recordings of over a dozen brand new compositions and arrangements for Christmas by John Rutter, together with his own personal selection of seasonal choral and orchestral favourites by other composers. Recorded in the splendid setting of London’s Cadogan Hall, this is the first all-new Christmas release from Rutter’s celebrated Cambridge Singers for 20 years, and the first ever to feature the glorious sound of full symphony orchestra and organ. “The sparkling fanfare introducing 'O come, all ye faithful' gives a typical flavour, Rutter gleefully using the full resources of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to light the soundstage up with seasonal glitter.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Music for the Christmas period from the UK's best-loved a cappella group The King’s Singers: feasts for the eyes and ears on both CD and DVD. This Christmas DVD was recorded in the stylishly distinctive setting of Jerwood Hall in LSO St Luke’s, London. The King’s Singers are world-renowned for their live performances, and this concert captures the charm and skill that you’d expect from a group of this calibre. It is a musical treat as well as a visual one, recorded in both CD quality stereo and in 5.1 surround sound. The DVD also features a 10-minute bonus documentary feature, titled “Life as a King’s Singer”. “the sound and the performances are immaculate...It was recorded without an audience in LSO St Luke’s, so there’s a magical bloom to the sound. And when the programme goes off the beaten track, with exquisite performances of lesser-known carols from France, Germany or Spain, it’s a lovely listen.” The Arts Desk, 14th December 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
